We will update it as we try to eat our way through the list of Italian restaurants in Singapore.

Il Cielo at Hilton Hotel

Garibaldi

Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar is a fine Italian eatery. Combining traditional Italian cuisine with a stylish contemporary setting, Garibaldi has become one of the most popular Italian restaurants in Singapore, even before it was awarded One Michelin Star in 2017. Read about our lunch at Garibaldi here.

Monti

We were sad to hear the news that Catalunya had decided to call a day. But as they say, one door closes and another door opens. Monti at the Fullerton Pavillion takes over the bubble shaped space on Marina Bay. The place is beautiful and the food is superb. Read Monti at The Fullerton Pavillion – new Italian restaurant.

Valentino’s

The next entry in our list of best Italian restaurants in Singapore is an Italian restaurant that has been around for a long time – Valentino’s in Turf City. Consistently well made traditional dishes in an equally traditional decor. Read Valentino Restaurant Singapore – Italian food in Turf City.

La Barca is our favourite Italian restaurant in the East. Located in the Goodman Arts Centre in Katong, this is a laid back place where a long lunch with a bottle of wine is our definition of a nice day. Read La Barca – Best Italian Restaurant in East Singapore.

Fratini La Trattoria on Greenwood Avenue is unlike any other Italian restaurant in Singapore that we have tried. It is certainly worth a visit, especially if you are in the Watten Estate area and have a good appetite. They are an “omakase” Italian restaurant. Do not ask for the menu as there is none. Read Dinner at Fratini La Trattoria – a story of endless love?
